Re: 3DS Max 2011 TF2 UV error
In 3DSMax, the way you apply diffuse textures is you click a material, then you click the box right next to where it says "diffuse". A window should come up with a list of different materials to choose from. If you're applying diffuse, you click "bitmap" then select the Targa file you want to apply to your model. Once your… -
Re: USR Ghost Cloak Drive (Fractured Space) - WIP
Quick material exploration. Material is entirely procedural in UE4 with one RGBA (transparency, curvature, AO and gradient map), normal map, gradient (256x32) and shared RGB grungemap with 3 variants blended in parametrically. The gradient I map to the texture is 3 steps of pure RGB mapped to the greyscale input three… -
Re: Sketchbook: Victor Ullmann
After four months of studies on my free time I finished the scene. I made alot of improvements on the lights and on the materials of the foliage. I used just two lights, a Area Light with a HDRi map and a Direction light, both as movable. To improve the lights i watched the Unreal 4 Lighting Academy videos on youtube… -
Re: Textures and Terrain - tiling and procedural texturing in UE3 and UDk
Oh btw NoisyMonk, I learned what I did about the Material Editor from thenewboston's video tutorials. He gets a little rambly, but he really, REALLY dumbs his material down (for better or for worse) so you can easily learn the fundamentals of Material Editing. From there, implementing some of the techniques above shouldn't… -
Re: Stripping texture path
Make sure you also reset your material editor (Utilities > Reset Material Editor Slots) before you export to FBX. FBX is used to transfer as many settings and features as possible between autodesk's 3D packages, the material editor is one of those settings. So you might have stripped the paths off of the objects but you… -
Re: Substance Painter - Missing UV Shells?
I Had one texture, but i figured it out the problem, during the creation of the mesh it seems i had a different material, but after a lot of modifiers, collapsed them and put 1 material for the entire mesh, after the export, somehow the Fbx "remembered" the old material that wasn't in use. So Substance picked it up and… -
Re: Can someone point me to a tutorial or explain how they are doing this with Blueprints.
I don't know of any tutorials, but its pretty simple really. It's just driving material parameters, and turning mesh components on and off. The material on the barrel has a number of parameters for things like color, rust amount, etc. The blueprint has variables which drive those parameters. The stuff like lids is just a… -
Re: Neelam
I've seen your work recently, the Eve girl and the Marmoset skin material setup dude, Adam. Such amazing high quality stuff, man, and so is this too! And oh my god, the complexity of your skin material in UE4. I can barely create a standard material with basic texture inputs, haha. That's why I've used MT3 more, because of… -
Re: Baking Spec Maps Via Max
ah but if you have the materials with certain settings in the scene and lighting then its all effected. Duh answer kinda straight foward I assume, so all these things do determine the end result. So I guess the best way I can approach this would be first set all the parts with the color materials/ single color material I… -
Re: never used SSS before...
To use SSS you need to render with Mental Ray. Open your Render dialog window and change the renderer to mental ray. Now when you go to the Material Editor, select a new material and click the Standard button in the top right, you should see some new material types with different coloured spheres next to them, just select…
